Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.Mal: Define "interesting".Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Re: The Hard Light Productions Installation

Damn, the floor-layout on the lower levels has gone to s***, and what the heck is going on with those elevator shafts! And for some reason, the Installation appears to be existing in two different regions of space at the same time...

Re: The Hard Light Productions Installation

I don't suppose you guys would concede to electing one person whos job it is is to arrange everyone elses modules that they create? That way people can request where things go but the final say is made by the person who puts it all together. It also avoids all the messy screwing up of locations by people who decide to change things.

Re: The Hard Light Productions Installation

See, this is why I said **** had to join onto existing structures. To stop people going "OMG! I could make a 10-story guest hotel 900pixels from everything else!!!!"

But they've just took it as "Well, those two pixels touch..."

I think we need a nice, big, fuzzy general layout detailing administrative, technical, scientific, utility, housing, docking/repair and food areas. So similar **** is in roughly the same area. With allowances for things like the Imperial Chamber being near the piracy and whatnot.

Re: The Hard Light Productions Installation

the chaos aproach does have its apeal though. i doubt the sa guys had any rules. just fill out this puppy and then we can expand it a little.

--or--

we set up a table in good old html with various sized cells (your standard 200x50 your 200x30 vent ducts, your whatever resolution elevator shafts, plus larger pices for figterbays and such. and each unused cell would have a litttle load image button, then a little load image popup. if the image resolution matches the one specified for the cell, it gets loaded, elce it calls you a moron and tells you to resize your image. it would be cool. it would upload it to the same webspace, so you dont need to have image space on the net to contribute. there are of course a few technical chalenges.

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Re: The Hard Light Productions Installation

I just put the brig at the junky basement place. I don't think we need another docking bay, seeing as we already have a giant one. I didn't make more elevators because I don't know the font for the numbers.

I'm inclined to agree with this on the simple basis that this is essentially a design of "HLP". It's not exactly the canon deck layout for some Wing Commander ship blueprint but it should follow some resemblence of sanity. Command control at the top, hanger bays next to space, elevators and access points connecting all rooms somehow.

Re: The Hard Light Productions Installation

Or better yet: Keep everything in limbo till we've got some official HLP facilities. Put the official stuff (admin rooms, weapons storage, central power generator, etc) into a proper layout and fit everything else in around them.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
